PREFACE.
THE second of a series of Text Books stands
scarcely in need of preface. The aim and
scope, as well as the origin, of this series
were duly set forth in 'The Anatomy of
Pattern.' What was there said applies for
the most part to the present volume.
A new edition gives me the opportunity of
revising both the text and illustrations, and
of adding some new plates.
It is encouraging to find that the demand
for the Text Books is not exhausted with
the first issue, and that they appear to be
fulfilling the purpose I had in view in under-
taking them.
